an early preview to the FRD at Hockenheim...
The last weekend of August will see the 11th German Ferrari Racing Days, the only European FRD this year! How priorities change. However, to our memory, German FRDs have always been the biggest, rivaled only by our friends from Great Britain. The main tradition of FRD in Germany sure started, when fellow countryman Michael Schumacher joined the Scuderia. Michael always enjoyed to be part of it and was regulary flew in by helicopter, an event, that every visitor was waiting for as the event's highlight.

You may imagine that F-Register's goal always was something different: the cars - the more, the better. The Factory's website speculate about 1,000 cars to be present in this this year's edition that will be held at Hockenheim for the third time this year.

1,000 cars is no big surprise of German frequent FRD-visitors, but it's a challenge to take them all down by Serial Number and we can tell you, German FRDs are real work. It only has been the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari where we have spotted more Prancing Horses than at German FRDs.
